Some other notes:
- Seemed like a coin flip between Dubois, Tkachuk, and Nylander at 5-7.
- No clear top defenceman. Likes Juolevi for his hockey sense and skating.
- Says Brown is a non-factor without the puck, doesn't engage the play enough defensively. Rumours that he doesn't have a good work ethic off the ice. If it wasn't for these negatives, he could have been top 5.
He says except for the first 3 players being above average, the 1st round is average. Says the depth rounds are below average.
Seems like a year where it's better to have quality picks rather than quantity.

Yeah this draft is just average past the top 3 like I said before. I don't think Dubois or Tkachuk are worth trading up for as a team like the Flames would be best served to take the BPA on their list and not over complicate things by considering a guy like Brown who looks like he could be boom or bust.
